St Peter's RC High School
, M12 4WB · Manchester · secondary school
12th of 30 secondary schools in Manchester we can score, 32 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.8/10 against 369 of them, against 6.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.78 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 45.6 · 55 | 30% | 1.66 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.57 · 87 | 25% | 2.19 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 47.4 · 59 | 10% | 0.60 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 45.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 47.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.57 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. There are 1013 pupils in a school with 1000 places, meaning it is over capacity by 13. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the 13 pupils over capacity in daily operations? What specific support is available for pupils aiming to raise their Progress 8 scores? How has the Good rating from 2022 been maintained or improved since the last inspection?
